Looks perfect and fun for trail running

I put a ten shooter and mamba x, a set of weighted beadlocks with otsix usd stickies, and made my own servo mount on the front axle out of 1/8 inch steel plate. I'm currently waiting on longer screws for the servo/control arm mounts.

I just got one. I love it. I want to do the same. It doesn't need to go 45mph...

Nice 😀👍

Now that's what I call a "barrel roll" lol! Never seen anything like that before, was super cool!

I put shorter wider tires/rims and nailed the handling, those 2.2 make it fall over to much at speed. Now with shorter wider tires and my 2s and 3100kv im happy crawling and zipping fast.

This is exactly what I've been making plans to do. I liked the Wendigo but wanted it as a crawler / basher. With the factory motor and ESC I could tell it would be no good for Crawling. My plan was to install the Holmes BL and Mamba X and gear down so you nailed what I wanted to try. Unfortunately all plans went on hold from the Covid 19 stuff as I am unsure if work will continue to be available so I am quite disappointed. Was super pumped to purchase. I live in Canada and only recently got into RC. Purchased a Redcat Everest 10 for crawling and love it and now want more. Want Wendigo for camping and back yard stuff. Want the Capra for my Crawler and then the E10 will be for my son. You are the 1st person Ive ever really subscribed too and have since subscribed to a few other channels as well.

Anti-gravity scene was pretty. A lot better on the slow end👍👍. Enjoyed the step-up Hill climb. Great video

I recently installed a Limited Edition Castle Copperhead ESC with Castle 1412 3200kv motor in my Wendigo. With that setup, a 13T pinion, and a 3s LiPo, the Wendigo is much more versatile: it now crawls well and still has a decent top end. It's the vehicle I hoped it would be.

Love the content.. Just got the same motor and ESC for my wendigo.. where did you get the pinion? Link? 👏🏽🤘🏽

You were killing the spur, not spinning the slipper.

Looks like a great system for that rig 👍

You can also upgrade plastic spur gear to steel one Robinson Racing # 8845 it’s same as Gen8. Nice upgrades! I have that motor in my trx4 it crawls and goes fast perfect for trail rigs.

You made a cool truck into an AWESOME truck!!! It seems to be front heavy, on either fast or slow descents.

That is exactly what that truck needed

Can you elaborate more on how the wiring and channel 4 works with the receiver? It looks like you used the aux wire on the esc wiring. Just looking for some clarity thanks in advance!!!

That's way closer to what this truck should be... I think a lot of folks would get this vehicle thinking this is what it can do stock... then learn the difference between sensored and sensorless. Maybe redcat could do an axe edition with axe 3300kv 550, the gt5 radio and reefs servo would of had the adaptive drag brake for coming off the high speed squirt... It's definitely a way better vehicle now though. Good job. Cheers mate 👍

Those were some VERY worthwhile improvements on that truck. Crawling capabilities were vastly improved while its velocity peaks did not appear to be at all compromised. If I'm correct; it's 'only' about $315 to do it? Wow!

Interesting sir great video as always my friend well done

I never ran it on stock tires ..I went straight to beadlocks and proline flat irons...

Great, thx. Now I see I'm gonna HAVE TO get the windego! LOL! That was my original concern. If it would/could crawl. Too, did I miss "crawler mode"? Lastly, I just noticed the face on the 1 flat rock! 👏👏👏

What is the motor pinion gear you used?

Great vid as always my rc brother 👍🏻💯 always enjoyable content

I personally think it could be stretched a inch in total and I think it would be a lot better.

Do you think that there will be aftermarket parts?

That's an awesome setup for that rig, imo. I like the idea of making it more capable on both ends of the spectrum. Nice!! The GT5 should be the new RTR standard across the board. That thing is awesome. My Kaiju is getting it's GT5 receiver today, should make a huge difference!

Are these tires any different that what came on the gen 7 and 8?

Good morning brotherman 👊😷

what's your opinion on a castle 3800kv with sensored mamba x for the wendigo?

I basically made my wendigo into a AXE. Metal gears ,2300kv ,gt5, Reef its still fast but could use more if you have open area. I wanted the Holmes but it was outta stock so good to see might try that on my other wendigo.

Hey great video. Thank you for showing this set up! I was waiting to see how Holmes ran his with a 4100kv! 😳 but now I’m sold. I’ve never had a castle esc. Are they always that noisy?

I want to love it and make it a bouncer but it seems to be very tipsy and unstable.

Like the set up but it just is still not set up for crawling

What 4s brushless would you recommend for a rustler 4x4 that is easy to program the esc

I believe the Reefs Raw500 servo would complete that rig. The stock one now has become meh. And metal beadlocks also. 😁

Have you ever tried some 2.8 mt tires on this just for fun? That would be cool to see 👍

Curious how well those tires would do on your ply wood test ramp

I'm surprised, you dont use air compressor , I been using fortress quiet series , dam I just ordered those Ph batts they great so if I got to Amazon from here it helps ?does have be from a link you posted if not I'd rather support you guys I just ordered alot stuff be ordering more

Can I buy some of your take off parts ????

This should be sensored out of the box.

I like the truck but it seems like it rolls over alot and end over end. I think it's not a wise choice.

Looks like it was wrapped by MaxAmps

Awesome.. Haha

I think my mother in-law may actually be a Windigo , On another note , I just got my new crawlmaster sport 550 ( 15 t ) any suggestions on how to brake it in ?

First 🤘🏻 nice video

This isn’t a crawler and not a rock racer so what is it?

How not to use a scaler .....

Those tires suck
